The Great War (also known as The Great Struggle) was a war believed to have been fought between humanity and the extradimensional invading force of the Omicrons, of whom originated from the Human Reserve Device which holds Reus, an ancient Omicron who fuels humanity with his hate. Humanity was assisted by the ancient force known as Savacrons, and the Great Kings, a faction of ancient rulers of the four kingdoms at each corner of the Earth in Eadornist times. They were also assisted by Sha-Sha himself.

Overview

The Great War lasted 56 years in GWTW and Liber Ranarum, starting after Reus breaks out of the Human Reserve Device. After breaking out of the device, he starts a rain of fire upon a city named Shanto Village. Here, he starts apocalyptic natural disasters, such as mass volcano eruptions.

It began on the first day of the one thousandth year. Fire rained on Shanto Village as all of the residents and citizens yelled in pain.

— Liber Ranarum, Book III; The Great War, Verses 1-2

Many more loyal Omicrons began to help Reus until they were opposed by humanity. Humanity would initially be getting mass slayings daily until Savacrons began to help them. In this new alliance, they decided to call themselves The Keepers. Over time, the Keepers would start winning more battles as they were more akin to using strategy than raw strength like the Omicrons and Reus. This would eventually lead to a stamina battle in the final few battles of the war, as each faction had been tired out at that point.

The Savacrons had managed to defeat the Omicrons after a rogue Savacron sent a massive spear of light towards an Omicron guard of Reus, striking him in the heart.

This would mark the end of the battle, with the Savacrons being able to lock Reus back into the Reserve Device and then going back to Heaven. This would lead to humanity being left alone to fight the remaining Omicron forces who refused to leave the Earth in an attempt to cause absolute chaos.

However, the humans were able to round up all the reinforcements that they could and would eventually manage to have all four Kingdoms at the corners of the Earth safe and guarded.

— Liber Ranarum, Book III; The Great War, Verses 138-141

Eventually, humanity would end up overcoming the insurmountable threat with usage from the Pulchra Pugna - a device made by a human guided by Savacrons - which would be used to bring thousands of entities from every faction to Earth from alternate universes or realities.

History

The war began on Year 1000 after Reus broke out of the Human Reserve Device. After breaking out, Reus would get the help of other Savacrons who had been corrupted by the power of the Human Reserve Device. Calling themselves 'Omicrons,' these corrupted Savacrons would go on the start an apocalypse on Earth by starting mass volcano eruptions, earthquakes, and flooding. These disasters would result in humanity starting at a major disadvantage. Due to the four Kingdoms being at the four corners of the Earth, most of their proper armies and militaries were wiped out. The four Kingdoms eventually regrouped and ended up starting a battle in another Kingdom to combat the Omicron threat.

After multiple battles, the Power Stretch was created which allowed humanity to make their weapons much better at a much faster time rate. This would essentially allow them to undergo massive era-defining engineering and industrial technological advances. The Power Stretch was used by all Kingdoms to try and combat Omicrons.
